Should you buy a used Buick Encore GX?
The sweet spot for buying a used Encore GX is 2 to 3 years old. At that age you can save approximately $10,080 off the new price while still getting a relatively modern vehicle. The steepest depreciation happens in the first 1-2 years, so letting someone else absorb that loss is a smart financial move.
